5/28/25 - Hearts Quest #86 Anything with Black/White Hearts - My Hearts card

I can't believe that June is just around the corner! Today's at Hearts Quest Challenge (anything goes) I created a card using optional White Heart! I used a black DSP so the white heart can pop. I also added trio of flowers to soften the look. This is a perfect card for anyone in your life! I hope you enjoyed this card and be sure to join us at the challenge.

5/25/26 - Atlantic Hearts #683 - Fern & Floral Bundle

Welcome back to Atlantic Hearts Sketch - Today I have a card using Fern & Floral Bundle, currently new with the Stampin' Up catalog. This is one of the bundle that I wanted to purchase from the catalog and I used the colors in the DSP to die cut out the ferns. Instead of Berry Burst that was listed in DSP, I decided to go with Blackberry Bliss for this card. Hope you like it and please do join us at the challenge,

5/22/26 - Color Dare Challenge #705 - Pop Up Petal

Happy Friday and today I have a floral card using Color Dare - Lemon Lime Twist/Granny Apple Green/Balmy Blue. I used a piece of DSP from Boardwalk Fun for the background which has shades of yellow and the sun, kind of looks like the sunflowers that I stamped. Yellow is always perfect for sunflowers and the vast is Balmy Blue. Hope you enjoyed this card and be sure to join us at the challenge.

5/20/26 - Pick 3 Challenge #5 - Blue Tone Card!

Happy Hump Day! Today's card is shared with Pick 3 Challenge and I used Blue/Plaid/Birthday for today's creation. I used a really fun Stack & Shuffle technique (Terri Gaines), but of course you can just create one card, like I did here. I used different shades of blue and pattern paper for this, mostly retired as you can see, but this card would be perfect for someone like me - who just LOVE blues! I hope you enjoyed this card I am sharing today and be sure to join us at the challenge.

5/19/26 - Cardz 4 Guyz #386 Embossing Folder - Fern & Floral Bundle

Welcome back to our monthly challenge here at Cardz 4 Guyz and this time we are making Embossing Folder card! I used the embossing folder on vellum along with Fern & Floral for this card! I love this technique as it gives a little more texture on your creation. The ferns are die cut with different color of cardstock. This bundle was my first purchase from the May to August 2026 SU catalog and I will keep using it for my future creation. Hope you enjoyed this card and be sure to join us at the challenge.

Happy Monday with MMM (Say it with Flower) - Today's card is an easy flip fun fold using Ferns & Floral Bundle. I saved an old tutorial from few years ago - Create with Terri Gaines.

Can you spot the flower on the main focal image as well as the DSP? Beautiful I say! Hope you can join us at the challenge.
